1 Samuel Bible Quiz & Trivia (KJV)

1 Samuel pivots Israel from judges to kings — Hannah's prayer, the boy Samuel hearing God in the night, the ark captured by the Philistines, Saul anointed and then rejected, David anointed in secret, David and Goliath, Jonathan's covenant friendship, and David's long flight from Saul's spear. A good 1 Samuel quiz tests Hannah, Eli, Samuel, Saul, Jonathan, David, Goliath, Doeg, Abigail, and the witch of Endor. Thirty-one chapters that end with Saul's death on Mount Gilboa. Every answer below cites a King James verse.
